Hi
I have part one down , just need to fine tune it. Just started part 2. I'm glad I have patience, cause when I first start a new piece its very discouraging by what it sounds like. It seams like its never going to sound like music. Then after getting my fingers to do the new task, it starts to click. After I practice over and over again, seams like hundreds of times maybe more, it starts to sound half decent. Thats when the euphoria hits me and I know I'm getting it!
Having the video and the tabs is the best way for me to learn. When I first started playing a buddy showed me what to do. But this site is better I can watch Kirk play the piece and then print the tabs and go to work.
I also go to a blues site where the guy plays a video of him playing the piece, but its frustrating when I miss a finger position. I asked him if he could provide the tabs , but he never responded to me. I haven't been going to this blues site like I used to. I was learning a preaty nice song. but I got stuck on the second part. I could not pick up what notes he was picking. So here I was with half a song down , and now I'm stuck. I'm have zero minus talent for picking up something by ear!
I have over the rainbow down (intermediate version) to where it sounds preaty good.
Just like to say thanks Kirk for your excellent site!
Ralph
